About this tour

This half-hour virtual tour reconstructs Baia's Imperial Palace and its elaborate thermal complexes as they stood two millennia ago, using immersive viewer technology and narration in Italian, English or German. No diving required—you'll explore sunken colonnades and bathing chambers from a stationary seat, discovering how wealthy Romans holidayed here before volcanic activity buried the site.

What to expect
You'll be seated in front of a VR viewer that delivers a guided journey through Baia's submerged ruins. The narration walks you through the spatial layout and historical context of the thermal complexes while the 3D model reveals what the site looked like when patricians soaked in its heated pools. The experience is passive—you're not navigating yourself—so there's no learning curve. Infants sit with a parent; prams and strollers are welcome. Service animals are permitted.
Good to know
